VERSIONS and TTL mutually exclusive?

2011-11-02 Thread Joel Halbert
I'm using HBase 0.20.6. For column definitions are VERSIONS and TTL mutually exclusive? For example, what happens if I define a column like so: create pages, {NAME = 'info', COMPRESSION='gz', VERSIONS=30, TTL = '2592000'} Will only one of VERSIONS and TTL be used ? If so, which? J

Without more info about your setup or logs, I would guess that you forgot to replace the hadoop jar in hbase's lib folder per this documentation: http://hbase.apache.org/book/hadoop.html J-D On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 5:14 PM, LoveIR shiva2...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am using Hbase 0.90.4 version

Which type of installation are you using - distributed or pseudo distributed? Can you send us the output of 'jps' from server which should host HMaster, and as well fractions from log? Tnx, Dejo On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 6:14 PM, LoveIR shiva2...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am using Hbase 0.90.4

Also, Apache Hadoop 0.20.203 isn't a Hadoop version you'd want to use HBase with in production (lacks 0.20-append branch features). The book link provided by J-D covers the recommendations. On 02-Nov-2011, at 11:42 PM, Jack Levin wrote: You likely have hadoop-core in hbase/lib dir that's

readonly performance?

2011-11-02 Thread Homer Strong
Just out of curiosity, are there any performance benefits from setting READONLY to true on tables? I've checked out the HBase book and Definitive Guide and the API docs, but none of them go beyond a basic description of READONLY behavior (which seems to be pretty simple :)). Homer

2011-11-02 Thread Suraj Varma
I don't think there is any performance benefit as such. From the source code, it appears that the only use is to avoid accidentally updating / mutating a table that you want to keep immutable. So - setting the read only flag will prevent accidental updates to that table. --Suraj On Wed, Nov 2,

Re: region size/count per regionserver

2011-11-02 Thread lars hofhansl
Do we know what would need to change in HBase in order to be able to manage more regions per regionserver? With 20 regions per server, one would need 300G regions to just utilize 6T of drive space. To utilize a regionserver/datanode with 24T drive space the region size would be an insane 1T.

Region Scalability is definitely an investigation item that has not been covered yet. We solved the problem with horizontal sharding into multiple clusters instead of tackling that subject with the timeframe we had. I'm guessing the 2-level ROOT/META was a response to that problem. On the
